I have the panoshoot wifi module for the panogear motorised head. It says it saves xml files compatible with autopano but I'm struggling ti import them. I am going to import and selecting papywizard and selecting the xml file downloaded from panoshoot for the session and it's not picking up any images and the pitch and yaw have off values. See image. Posted in autopano pro too as not sure where the issue lies so sorry for repost

I had this 'argument' with the developers of Panoshoot a long time ago.

They claim that their XML files record everything required by, and used by, the Kolor Papywizard Import wizard, although I pointed out that their XML files are not compliant with the definition created by Frederic, the developer of Papywizard.

They could not 'see' the logic of my argument, as far as they were concerned it (their XML data file format) was good enough if it worked with the Kolor Papywizard Import wizard.

Hi Georg - on http://www.kolor.com/buy/kolor-panogear-motorized-panoramic-head-gigapixel-4.html one of the bullet points for Panoshoot says "Exports session in XML format supported by Autopano". I believe the xml files are imported using the Papywizard import plugin. When I select the images it simply lists how many there are and the finish box becomes disabled. Also no header info is picked up (see extra images)

1. whatever kolors papy Import wizzard does interprete or not - its part of the papywizzard Definition page (link I posted)2. if panoshoot does not create 1:1 looking files like defined in above papy def page...3. you should not wonder if kolor is correcting/adjusting its importfilter to be more papy Standard comforming that you than more and more Problems will see with your XML files arising...

... XML files coming from papywizzard are working with same reliability as with apg 3.05 etc.

so contact panoshoot Support for correction.you also could downgrade to apg 3.05 or even lower to verify that your XML files are working with earlier Import wizzards.

Managed to get it sorted Panoshoot was creating multisession xml files. When I disabled this option the xml files could be read and used and I'm currently rendering the first test. Thanks for all your advice.
